Stentiford, Lauren; Koutsouris, George – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2022
This paper presents a critical interrogation of the recent drive towards the 'inclusive curriculum' in higher education (HE). Our arguments are grounded in the findings of a systematic scoping review that sought to understand how researchers have, to date, understood, conceptualised and theorised the inclusive curriculum in HE. The findings…

Papatsiba, Vassiliki; Cohen, Eliel – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2020
Globally, performance-based research funding aims to support the most deserving academic institutions and researchers.

Research impact as a performance…

Valiente, Oscar; Lowden, Kevin; Capsada-Munsech, Queralt – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2020
This article shows how the Scottish Government's (SG) political management of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) has reinforced the economic goals of lifelong learning (LLL) under the skills for work agenda. Youth unemployment has been prioritized as the main social problem to be addressed, and most of the limited public resources for LLL have been…

Souto-Otero, Manuel; Whitworth, Adam – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2017
"Delayed participation" in higher education (HE) is an increasingly important feature of modern HE systems in many countries. Despite this, surprisingly little empirical research has been undertaken seeking to better understand levels of delayed adult participation in HE across Europe. The present article responds to this gap by…

Sukarieh, Mayssoun; Tannock, Stuart – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2017
Currently dominant human capital and knowledge economy rhetoric holds that education can raise wages, empower workers and enhance working conditions. Education, however, can also have the opposite impact in the workplace and labour market, an impact that has received only limited attention. In this article we draw together a broad range of…

Marginson, Simon – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2008
This paper maps the global dimension of higher education and associated research, including the differentiation of national systems and institutions, while reflecting critically on theoretical tools for working this terrain. Arguably the most sustained theorization of higher education is by Bourdieu: the paper explores the relevance and limits of…

Edwards, Tony – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2008
Olive Banks' study of the sharp contrasts of "parity and prestige" in English secondary education was published when sociological study of education was only beginning in Britain. It fitted neatly into that study's preoccupation with the interactions of social class, educational opportunity and social mobility. This paper is not an…

Lambert, Cath – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2007
Transformational leadership is widely recognised as being central to the implementation of educational reform. In this paper I draw on selected educational speeches made by New Labour politicians in order to locate shifting discourses of leadership within the broader accountability framework through which the terms of the relationship between…

Hartley, David – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2007
Organizational learning or epistemology has emerged in order to manage the creation of knowledge and innovation within contemporary capitalism.

Two approaches in…

Vongalis-Macrow, Athena – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2007
Analysis of teachers' agency as multifarious change, embedded in educational reform in the global era, stands largely unexamined in educational policy. Although the concept of teachers as agents has political implications, beyond this, examining teachers' agency offers ways of describing and reviewing changes to teachers' work and relations within…

Drawing on ESRC-funded research (RES-000-22-0832), this article examines the accounts of men participating in London access and foundation programs in relation to their shifting masculine identifications. The author considers how the men's early memories of schooling shape their student masculinities. Their accounts are contextualized in relation…
